okay people, this isn't a Lavi/Yuu! Just getting that out there. Even so in this fic I can't help but have Lavi as Yuu's best friend! Anyway, this is Cross/Kanda, slightly crackish, cause I can't really imagine them together all touchy feely emotionally involved sort of thing, but I can imagine Cross thinking that Kanda is a woman (it happens in a bar in the manga) and being irritated at being denied even if Yuu is a very masculine manly man! On with the torture of characters!
there is also some swearing in it, it goes high ladies and gentlemen, but the rudest is asterisked for your gentle eyesight. if any of you have any REAL problems with prolific swearing, tell me nicely and everything will be asterisked, but won't go away completely as I can't seem to live without it. swearing, more addictive than crack (the snorting kind) but no-one ever died from being addicted to swearing.
Marian Cross was a man of taste, particularly in fine wine and fine women. He liked to surround himself with both as much as possible, as he deserved to only have beautiful things near himself. Standing in the European headquarters of the Black Order, with wailing scientists scurrying to and fro, just in front of the glowing 9th entrance to the ark, having to silently associate himself with not only his idiot apprentice, but three other unrefined males and the off-limits Lenalee (not because of her snivelling brother, but because of her naive and childish demeanour;he liked more authorative women). This was not a good day for Marian Cross, but just as he was about to disappear, so awkward questions would have to be directed to the younger exorcists and not him, he spotted something worth sticking around for. Not only was the wonderfully proportioned General Clous here, looking as beautifully foreboding as usual, there seemed to be another female exorcist. He dimly remembered someone that height dragging another unconscious exorcist with them, but as the ark was stable and no-one was in any danger, he hadn't bothered to look behind him. Now he wished he had, in order to ingratiate himself with the lovely woman earlier.
She seemed badly injured, cradling her left arm to her admittedly flat chest, the rags that were once an Exorcists jacket swathing her, masking any distinctly feminine features about her, but even so there was something magnetically mesmerising about her. Long, raven hair, suprisingly untangled, was loose around her face, choppy bangs partially obscuring a delicate, refined face of Asian descent, dark eyes glaring out at nothing in an attempt to stay the obvious pain afflicting the lithe frame of the exorcist. The right hand seemed fine, gripping a shattered katana that was obviously her Innocence, due to the fact that every facet of the broken katana was being held together by threads of light. A scientist with spiky brown hair warily approached the woman, and managed to negotiate the sword away from her, placing it in a glass case.
Cross had seen enough to know that this fiery exorcist was someone who was beautiful enough be in his presence, and promptly turned and strode over to Lenalee's brother Komushi or something.
"Ah, General Cross, how nice of you to drop by."
Komui sighed at the look the red haired General was sporting, and took his glasses off and cleaned them slowly, wishing for his beloved Lenalee's coffee.
"I want to retire to my room now, bring wine and someone lovely to serve it to me. In fact I already know who I want."
Komui gulped hoping it wasn't his precious Lenalee, though he was glad to defend her honor..he just really didn't want to die so soon, at Cross Marian's hands.
"Who?"
"That female Exorcist over there. The dove seems to also be injured, fortunately I am a trained medic and would be delighted to spare the matron the hassle of attending to her."
Following the general's gloved hand that seemed to gesturing in the direction of three exorcists, Miranda-san, Kanda, and...gulp...his precious little Lenalee.
"Do you mean Miranda-san? she appears to be quite fine, if not extremely exhausted-"
"Not her you imbecile, the raven beauty with the extensive wounds."
Komui had a dark thought...he couldn't mean...not...
"Kanda-san?"
This came out in a whisper,as if the voice didn't dare register at a higher decibel for fear of the person being talked about hearing. Unfortunately, Kanda, being a paranoid bastard and second exorcist, DID happen to hear his name being mentioned. Glancing over he saw a rather nervous Komui standing with General Cross; both appeared to be looking at him.
Though he disliked having anything to do with Komui (he still hadn't forgotten the last Komurin incident) he had grudging respect for General Cross and made to join them.
Cross beamed, looks like he didn't need the supervisor for anything after all, except for the wine, he thought, the wine was very important. He delighted in observing the gait of the exorcist as she moved towards them, fluid and graceful, a warrior's gait, only slightly stiff due to the overwhelming pain she was probably feeling, he had heard the name Kanda tied to the death of the Noah Skin Bolic, and wasn't suprised she had accounted massive damage.
Kanda finally reached the other men and stopped. Never being one for words he just stared darkly at Komui, hoping for a reasonably intelligent sentence.
"AAHH.-Ahsmm..ah, Kanda...fancing seeing you here...!"
...or maybe not. But it looked like the General was going to do the talking, good thing from the colour of grey Komui's face was turning.
"Ah yes, Kanda I believe it was? Well, I was retiring to my rooms, to recuperate from the battle, when I noticed your injuries had not been attended to SO-" he spoke overriding what Kanda had been about to say about his healing abilities"-SO, I thought as someone who had taken care over someone as useless and accident prone as my idiot apprentice could alleviate the injuries accosting you."
Kanda was bemused at the fact that Cross, selfish bastard extraudinaire, had even noticed other people were injured and was about to for once in his life politely decline; when general Cross spoke again.
"After all, such a young beautious girl such as yourself cannot be left to form scars! It would be a travesty to mark such an exquisite specimen of loveliness!"
Smiling charmingly, he turned to Komui hoping to add the agreement of a superior to further sway the girl. But the man seemed to be locked on the expression on the girl's face.
He then felt the most deadliest glare imaginable. Aah, the feminist type I suppose he thought as he turned back to the 'girl', maybe more persuading is in order-
this is all he thought before a solid left hook lifted him off his feet and sent him crashing through a stone pillar, and left him dazed half way across the room, brushing rubble from his hair.
Allen was hoping for a hearty meal and some sleep before anything major happened such as an explanation for the ark and his apparent control over it, something he himself had no idea about. But that was ruined, as he knew it would be by his devil of a master and the shout of a fuming, beyond raging, masculine, voice saying,
"I AM NOT A WOMAN YOU FUCKING BASTARD!GO HIT ON SOME WHORE WHO DESERVES IT YOU SIGHTLESS, DICKLESS, SPINELESS, USELESS MOTHERFUCKING C**T!"
The whole room now turned and gaped at the irascible Kanda Yuu who had just punched a general out and was now stalking away down the corridor, clutching his chest in agony while a wide berth given in all directions. Then to the fainted Komui lying prostrate on the floor (who was almost immediately forgotten about), then to the General lying at the edge of the room staring after the enraged swordsman with a peculiar look on his face. Allen groaned, he knew that look well; Kanda better like locked doors and sneaking around as long as HIS master was looking at Kanda with THAT face.
|||||||||||||||)_-
Marian Cross rubbed his cheek and smirked at how delicious Kanda-kun looked when angry, how nice his backside looked when it was walking away from him, and how he might have to rethink his policy on female only guests to his rooms.
REVIEW PLEASE.
Also did anyone else feel, as they were reading the sentence about Kanda being a specimen of lovliness, that Kanda was looking over their shoulder and pointedly sharpening Mugen?No? Just me? AH. the voices must be back then..
i've wanted to do this for a while, just because when Kanda (and Johnny) are looking for Allen people keep hitting on Kanda, either mistaking him for a woman or trying to kidnap him for their harem...and Cross seemed like the natural choice.
